Investigation on the Deformation and Surface Quality of a Bearing Outer Ring during Grinding Processing

Thin-walled bearings are widely used owing to the advantages of their light structure, high hardness, and strong load-carrying capacity. However, thin-walled bearings are often prone to deformation during the machining process, which can seriously affect the performance of the bearings. In addition, the machining deformation and quality of bearings are difficult to balance. To address the above issues, this paper investigates the effects of the machining parameters on the machining deformation, surface quality, and machining efficiency of a thin-walled bearing during the roughing stage. The dynamic balance between deformation inhibition and high quality in rough grinding was studied, and the optimal parameters for thin-walled bearing outer ring grinding were obtained. The deformation mechanism of thin-walled bearings caused by grinding was revealed through simulation and experimental analysis. The results show that the machining deformation and quality reach a balance when the workpiece speed is 55 r/min, the grinding wheel rotational speed is 2000 r/min, and the feed rate is 0.1 mm/min. Deformation increases with the increase in workpiece speed and grinding wheel speed. At the same time, the surface roughness increases with the increase in the workpiece speed, but the increase in the wheel speed will improve the surface roughness. As the workpiece speed increases, the surface topography shows a more pronounced stockpile of material, which is ameliorated by an increase in grinding wheel speed. As the rotational speed of the workpiece increases, the number of abrasive grains involved in the process per unit of time decreases, and the surface removal of the workpiece is less effective, while the increase in the rotational speed of the grinding wheel has the opposite effect. The grinding deformation of thin-walled bearings is mainly induced by machining heat and stress. As the rotational speed increases, the heat flux in the grinding zone increases. More heat flux flows into the surface of the workpiece, causing an increase in thermal stresses on the inner surface of the bearing collar, leading to greater deformation. The temperature in the grinding area can be reduced during machining, realizing a reduction in deformation. The research content contributes to the balance between high quality and low distortion in machining processes.


Introduction
The grooves of the outer ring of the bearing are in frequent contact with the rolling body and are subject to vibration and collision, etc.The surface quality and processing accuracy have a greater impact on the rotary accuracy and service life of the outer ring of the bearing.As a starting point for the topic, bearing processing efficiency and quality directly affect the performance of the host and the economic benefits of the manufacturer [1]; an efficient machining process and good machining quality have a decisive impact on the overall performance of the bearing.High-precision bearings are the core components of major equipment and precision equipment, and their reliability has a crucial impact on the service life of mechanical equipment.According to relevant research and analysis, about 30% of mechanical failures are caused by the failure of bearings in rotating parts [2].With the rapid development of science and technology, bearings are required to overcome difficult conditions such as high speed, heavy load, strong impact force, and high-frequency friction, and they cannot be prone to wear, cracking, corrosion, and other defects, to avoid damage to machinery and equipment and safety accidents [3].
Grinding and lapping are commonly used in machining.Fan et al. analyzed the effect of sodium silicate as well as SHMP on the grinding effect of muscovite and characterized its surface roughness, etc. [4,5].Nowadays, the outer ring of bearings is mainly processed by grinding.Li Xin et al. proved that the radial feed rate among the grinding parameters has the greatest influence on the radial wear of the grinding wheel, and the grinding wheel rotational speed has the greatest influence on the surface roughness of the workpiece [6].Tang et al. analyzed the structural characteristics and processing difficulties of the outer ring of cylindrical roller bearings with a three-valve wave raceway and adjusted the grinding process [7].YAMADA et al. compared the surface quality of workpieces after grinding with different grinding wheels to study the effect of grinding wheels with different contact stiffness on the surface quality and found that the surface roughness decreases with the decrease in the contact stiffness of the grinding wheel [8].The research on deformation defects in the process of bearing processing involves multi-disciplinary theories, including material mechanics [9], theoretical mechanics [10], and machining technology [11], etc.It is necessary to conduct targeted research on different processes and different types of bearing parts.NIK et al. studied the surface roughness of a Ti6Al4V alloy after ultrasonic grinding and normal grinding, and the results showed that ultrasonic grinding can effectively reduce the surface roughness and improve the surface quality [12].Tong et al. proposed a new calculation program for the grinding process of bearings, which incorporated the deformation of the rolling body into the design model, and analyzed the internal load distribution and the displacement of the inner ring based on it.The research results show that the deformation of the rolling element has an important influence on the load of the bearing, and an increase in the load will cause a large deviation in the axial displacement of the bearing, which will make the bearing prone to failure and other consequences [13].
The grinding process of the outer ring of the bearing collar is carried out on a centerless grinding machine, and in the centerless grinding process, if the grinding parameters are not properly selected, it can lead to serious deformation [14].The main technical indexes of bearing outer ring grinding processing include surface roughness, ellipticity, inner diameter size, wall thickness difference, vibration pattern and burns, etc., and the deformation and surface roughness are also important factors affecting the performance of bearings [15,16].Processing quality is mainly concerned with two aspects: on the one hand, the processinginduced deformation of the outer ring, which is mainly reflected by the two parameters of dimensional change and ellipticity change; on the other hand, the surface quality, which is analyzed by the roughness change brought about by grinding.The relationship between outer ring deformation and residual stress is also analyzed through simulation.The research content of the article helps to achieve a balance between high surface quality and reduced deformation.The study realizes the reduction in deformation during the machining process which is instructive for practical machining and can improve the production efficiency of enterprises.

In the study of Jin Guangdi et al., the workpiece heat transfer density is obtained as follows [18]: Accordingly, q ch is the heat transfer of chips, and there is powder in the actual processing of chips, hence there are fewer chips, so do not consider the heat composition, that is, q ch = 0. h f is the convective heat transfer coefficient of grinding fluid and h w is the heat transfer coefficient of the workpiece.

Meshing is the division of a geometric surface or cube into a number of small units, according to which the desired variables are calculated using partial differential equations.The size and quality of meshing elements have an important influence on the efficiency of calculation and the reliability of analysis results.If the number of grids divided by the model is small and the coefficients of the grids divided are loose, the calculation results will be inaccurate.If the number of grids is too large, the calculation time of the model may be longer, resulting in software crashes and other results.In this study, a linear hexahedral grid with DC3D8 cell type was set, with a total of 9328 cells and 12,672 nodes, as shown in Figure 3.

Relationship between Grinding Processing Parameters and Surface Quality
Roughness is an important index to evaluate the surface quality and micro-geometric errors of machined parts, and different values of surface roughness will have different effects on the fatigue properties of parts.As an important part of the bearing work, the greater the roughness, the smaller the contact area between the bearing channel and the rolling element, and the larger the unit area, the greater the local plastic deformation of the peak, which then affect the working accuracy and vibration resistance of the bearing.Reducing the surface roughness can greatly improve the service life of the bearing.
It can be seen from Figure 11 that the roughness increases with the increase in the workpiece speed.The reason for this phenomenon is that with the gradual increase in the workpiece speed, the number of abrasive particles in the unit time of the grinding wheel decreases, thus increasing the surface roughness value of the machined surface.

Conclusions
In this paper, the NCF1856V.01model was used, and grinding processing experiments were carried out using the bearing outer ring, alongside research and analysis of the workpiece speed, grinding wheel speed, and feed volume and how these three influence the regularity of bearing outer ring groove deformation and surface quality.At the same time, using ABAQUS 2021 software on the outer ring of the bearing force, a thermal simulation was undertaken to analyze the effect of residual stress on deformation.The conclusions of the study are as follows: (1) Through the analysis of the changing trend of the inner diameter and ellipticity before and after the machining experiment, it can be seen that the feed has the least influence on the deformation, and there is no obvious trend in the change in the inner diameter and ellipticity.An increase in workpiece speed and grinding wheel speed will increase the deformation.
(2) With the increase in workpiece speed and grinding wheel speed, the heat flux in the grinding area increases, which leads to the increase in grinding temperature and residual stress on the inner surface of the bearing outer ring.In the study, an increase in workpiece speed resulted in a 31.8%increase in stress, and an increase in grinding wheel speed resulted in a 40% increase in stress.The excessive stress makes the deformation of the outer ring more obvious.
(3) The results show that the average surface roughness of the machined surface increases with the increase in workpiece speed and the feed rate, and the material accumulation will be more serious.In particular, the roughness increased by a factor of 2.7 with increasing feeds.With the increase in grinding wheel speed, the surface roughness becomes smaller.
